It's that part where Mike is biking home at night from visiting his dad in the hospital and he suddenly realizes what a vulnerable position he's in and that Pennywise could strike at any time. I hate reading that part at night.

Yes, the idea of horror can be scariest of all. Blood and guts are not quite as scary as anticipated horror.It's that part where Mike is biking home at night from visiting his dad in the hospital and he suddenly realizes what a vulnerable position he's in and that Pennywise could strike at any time.

There's another scene when Mike is alone in the library after hours and he feels the presence of Pennywise. I think there was a yellow balloon that floats past him. I also like when Ben sees the mummy on the frozen canal.It's that part where Mike is biking home at night from visiting his dad in the hospital and he suddenly realizes what a vulnerable position he's in and that Pennywise could strike at any time.

I agree with you on both counts, Doc. The woods give me the heebie jeebies. I live deep in the woods, so maybe that's why Tommyknockers has always been one of my favorites.There's another scene when Mike is alone in the library after hours and he feels the presence of Pennywise.

The Tommyknockers gave me more nightmares, though. Don't get me wrong, I feared for our characters when they were in danger but the scares were minimal. It sounds odd since this gargantuan novel is bursting with every monster under the sun but I have never seen it as one of his scariest.
Exactly. I remember getting so many uneasy vibes from that book. The universal fear and paranoia of your friend(s) and town turning into "pod people", the low basso profundo hum of grinding machinery, the washing machines and green light...so many things that got in my head and burrowed there.
